Summary: Snatch up a ticket to see this FILM!
Review: Can you say Snatch? This movie is great from beginning to end, the ensemble cast including Benicio Del Toro and Brad Pitt is to die for! With character names like, Frankie Four Fingers, Mickey One-Punch, and Turkish, this raw display of awesome film power thrills me to the extreme! A must see for anyone who likes indie films!

Benicio Del Toro captures the screen as Frankie Four Fingers, the jewish theif/currier who makes stupid bets with the wrong people! It's a great small-part Del Toro film like: The Funeral or Basquiat and a different type of Brad Pitt film, I actually enjoyed his portrayal of Mickey. It was a good move on his part to take this role! He should look for more like it.

Great acting, superb direction and writing! Kodos to Guy Ritchie on this non-stop hilariously entertaining film!

Rating: 5 stars

Summary: Best Movie of 2001
Review: And I am pretty sure I will be saying that at the end of 2001 as well, maybe with the exception of the new J&SB flick (VA5). I watched Lock, Stock & Two Smoking Barrels and thought it was a pretty good flick, but it didn't grab me like Fight Club. But when I saw Snatch I was blown away. This movie starts off slow, but then goes 0-90 in a few seconds and before you know it, it is over. I was so disappointed when this movie was over. I wanted more. 90% of the characters were phenominal. The action was great, the story had no holes. I was amazed at the depth Guy Ritchie developed for each character in such a short amount of time. I was hyper for a couple days after seeing this movie. I continously tried to explain the plot to everyone I knew, yet it seemed impossible to do so. Despite that, you never get lost in the movie, it just happens so fast and so much, you cannot catch your breath. Really a triumph in cinema. I am completely impressed with the film and I consider myself a tough sell. Really worth watching.... 4 or 5 times.

Summary: stumped at birth
Review: guy ritchie is very talented and can make a quick pound on the multiplex market but the aim of this game after breaking the ice is to leave us with something that can linger. and riggle into a classic spot. sure for the moment he is setting the pace but if this is the pace then the film industry is going to speed up hollywood already churns out more crap then a elephant with diahorrea. we all saw the explosion that almost devoured tarrantino crime thrillers with strange subplots conversation and sickly humour almost killing the market. this month alone i have seen four ritchie inspired gore fests involving a lot of old british television and film actors dressed in italian suits and using excessive violence and unfunny dialogue the worst being gangster no 1 and i dont think that there can be a second best the other ray winstone filled thrillers hold no weight. this is a great movie if only ritchie exposed this to the world first it appears as though he has just altered the major points and characters in the script and the fact that he has used the cast from lock stock just to show his love of familiar faces too woo the audience just represents the shadow that the first film has cast. guy has been whirled into a world of bright lights and movie premieres but the best work produced in the majority of art be it film paint or the even the written word is when you try to break new ground and try other directions. financially a sucess it keeps the young men happy but if ritchie wants the mountain he cant use a plane he has got to use the pathway.

Summary: Snatch
Review: I had some time to spare while I was in Amsterdam, back in November 2000. I went in doubting I would like this Film, since I did not care much for Guy Ritchie's "Lock Stock..." To my astonishment, I loved it. I would go as far to say it was the best Film I saw in 2000. The acting was superb, the cinematography was brilliant, and the story was fast paced and fun. Brad Pitt along with the rest of the ensemble cast hit their marks perfectly, from the moment the Film starts till the second it ends you will not see a more entertaining Film this year. I don't want to give away any plot points, but trust me this Film is worth $.... I only wish we had more American Films of this caliber.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: "Protection from who? Zee Germans?"
Review: 'Snatch' is comparable to 'Unbreakable'. Not in the sense of storyline or content, but negativity. If you walk in to see 'Snatch' expecting another 'Lock Stock & Two Smoking Barrels', you will be dissapointed, just as those hoping for another 'Sixth Sense' were.

'Snatch' is primarily the story of Turkish & Tommy, two illegal boxing promoters who get caught up in the world of underworld figure Brick Top, when their bare knuckle boxer Gorgeous George is incapacitated by One-Punch Mickey (Brad Pitt in his best role to date), over a caravan. Now short of a boxer, and seriously in debt to Brick Top, the boys arrange to have Mickey take his place, but Mickey is not going to throw a fight the way they all had planned, which leads to more trouble for the boys.

It also features a bunch of pawn shop owners attempting to 'Snatch' a diamond stolen by Frankie Four Fingers (Benicio DelToro). Unfortunately, the diamond is also wanted by Cousin Avi (Dennis Farina), Doug The Head, Bullet Tooth Tony (Vinnie 'The Man' Jones) and Boris The Blade.

To those naysayers out there, let me tell you this, don't expect a sequel to 'Lock Stock' and you will love this film. Full of great camera action, absolutely brilliant performances all around, a clever, very funny script, add Brad Pitt's unintelligible Mickey, and you have a cracker-jack of a film experience.

By the way, the final sequence at another boxing match is one of the most brilliant scenes you will ever witness on screen. One reviewer described it as "'Raging Bull' meets 'The Matrix'". This doesn't even begin to cover it, trust me.

See 'Snatch' the second it opens, and then pre-order the DVD the second you get home.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Better Than Lock Stock
Review: I absolutely loved this movie, there are no two ways around it, this is a classic. Brad Pitt was excellent, believable, likeable, funny, and a well-developed character (something which is missing in many movies these days). The numerous plots, each with its own twists and turns, meet in many places for some amazing action and dialogue. I personally think that it was much better than LS&TSB, because it held your attention with some great action scenes to keep the plot moving (not too many shoot-em-up scenes too!). Overall, Snatch is a breath of fresh air from the crap served up to us by Hollywood recently. Long Live British Film (and aussie too!!).

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: funny but not much new here
Review: This is a really funny movie, with lots of ridiculous situations and good acting all around, especially from Brad Pitt (his best performance since '12 Monkeys' - how did he do such a good Irish accent here and such a god-awful job in '7 Years in Tibet'?). The script is full of great one liners which I won't give away here - the best comes from Dennis Farina after arriving back in the U.S.

The problem is that this movie is just too much alike Ritchie's 'Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels'. That was great film because it was not only amazingly funny but also had great stylish editing and bizarre plot twists. Yet Ritchie has no new tricks up his sleeve in 'Snatch'. He just has some more famous actors - Benicio del Toro, Ewen Bremner (from 'Trainspotting') and Rade Serbedzija (from 'The Saint' and 'Eyes Wide Shut') plus Pitt and Farina - and a setting in a different part of London. Those are the only major differences between the two movies.

For Madonna's children's sake, I hope Ritchie can grow as a director and become more than just a one-hit wonder.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Sarcasm, Violence, not your avrage British flik!
Review: If you liked "LockStok" and "Fight Club", This is it. Sarcasm, violence, fun, confusion, comedy all rolled up in to one dark atmosphere. It's just great, light, and you go out smiling.

Brad Pitt, great actor, no matter where you put him, he's just Believable, (if you got a good memory - he's like Harison Ford, in the early days - Indiana Jones or Star Wars) Great future!.

"Snatch" is great I give it full five stars, with a happy gun smoking grin. Go see it on Theaters and then get the Dvd, and see it at home!.
